Welcome to the Somme, a department of wide-open spaces and Gothic heritage in the heart of the Hauts-de-France region. From the Bay of Somme (Grand Site de France, most beautiful bay in the world, seals, walking across) to Amiens (Notre-Dame Cathedral — largest Gothic cathedral in France, hortillonnages, Saint-Leu quarter), from Abbeville (collegiate church, belfry) to the Picardy coast (Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, Le Crotoy, Mers-les-Bains — Belle Époque villas, Fort-Mahon) and the battlefields of the Great War (Thiepval memorial, Circuit of Remembrance), the Somme offers an immense setting between sea, marshes, and plains. Treat yourself to a romantic weekend in a love room with a private jacuzzi facing the most beautiful bay in the world. Neighboring departments: Pas-de-Calais (62), Oise (60), Aisne (02) and Seine-Maritime (76).

Prefecture of the Somme, Amiens is an exceptional city of art and history: Notre-Dame Cathedral (UNESCO listed, largest Gothic cathedral in France — 200,000 m³, nave 42 m high, facade with 3 sculpted portals, sound and light polychromy show), the hortillonnages (300 ha of floating gardens traversed by punt — ancestral market gardening, unique boat ride in France), the Saint-Leu quarter (canals, colorful houses, restaurants, atmosphere of a small Venice of the North) and the Jules Verne house (museum in the writer's residence, who lived 18 years in Amiens). Treat yourself to a room with a private jacuzzi in Amiens after a punt ride in the hortillonnages.
Grand Site de France and elected among the most beautiful bays in the world, the Bay of Somme is an immense natural area of sand, light, and tides. The seal colony (harbor seals and grey seals observable from the Pointe du Hourdel), the crossing of the bay on foot (with a nature guide, barefoot in the channels), the Parc du Marquenterre (ornithological reserve, 300 species of birds, observation trails) and the Bay of Somme railway (historic steam train connecting Le Crotoy to Saint-Valery) form a magnificent natural setting. Saint-Valery-sur-Somme (medieval city, ramparts, port, William the Conqueror embarked here in 1066) and Le Crotoy (south-facing sandy beach, seafood restaurants, Jules Verne wrote Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas here) are the two jewels of the bay.
Gateway to the Bay of Somme, Abbeville captivates with its Saint-Vulfran collegiate church (spectacular flamboyant Gothic facade, unfinished — one of the most beautiful in Picardy), its belfry (13th century, UNESCO listed as one of the Northern belfries), the Boucher-de-Perthes museum (prehistory, fine arts) and its lively market. 15 minutes from the Bay of Somme, Abbeville is an ideal starting point for exploring the Picardy coast.
Mers-les-Bains (seafront with colorful Belle Époque villas — one of the most beautiful seaside alignments in France, chalk cliffs), Fort-Mahon-Plage (immense sandy beaches, dunes, Authie Bay), Cayeux-sur-Mer (longest boardwalk in Europe, pebbles, Hâble d'Ault — nature reserve) and Ault (cliffs, panorama): a varied coastline between cliffs, dunes, and immense beaches.
The Bay of Somme at sunset is one of the most moving natural spectacles in France: changing lights, vastness of sand, golden and pink reflections on the water, silhouettes of seals in the distance. Crossing barefoot at low tide and observing seals at Hourdel are unforgettable romantic experiences.
The Notre-Dame Cathedral of Amiens (UNESCO) offers a unique spectacle: the polychromy in sound and light (projection of original medieval colors on the facade, summer and December) restores the cathedral to its 13th-century colors. Inside, the Weeping Angel (18th-century sculpture, symbol of Amiens) and the floor labyrinth are treasures to discover as a couple.
The hortillonnages (300 ha of floating gardens, 65 km of canals called "rieux") can be visited by punt (traditional flat-bottomed boat). Market gardening, flowers, wild fauna, and absolute calm: a green Venice in the heart of Amiens, ideal for a romantic stroll.
One of the most important ornithological reserves in Europe, the Parc du Marquenterre (200 ha of dunes, marshes, and forests) hosts over 300 species of birds (spoonbills, avocets, storks, herons). Equipped observation trails, hides, and exceptional light: a natural paradise for couples who love wide-open spaces.
